Suns vs Spurs NBA Preview
Phoenix Suns Betting Preview
As winter draws nearer, Phoenix is finally warming up. After losing to the Pistons and Bulls in the first week of the preseason, the Suns bounced back at home on Saturday with a 102-98 win over the Spurs. Luke Kennard, now in his 10th season, paced the squad with 20 points, going 4-for-10 from beyond the arc. Jalen Green followed up with 18 points, going 3-for-5 from deep, and Dillon Brooks added 15 points to the tally.
The Suns pulled away early on Saturday due to their ability to take back possession. Phoenix forced 11 steals to San Antonio's six and turned those mistakes into buckets. The Suns earned 23 points off the Spurs 19 turnovers while the visitors only scored 14 points from Phoenix's 15 turnovers. Expect similar intensity from head coach Jordan Ott's squad as the Suns look to sweep their preseason interactions with the Spurs.
San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview
The 2026 NBA runners-up have been unimpressive in preseason play up to this point. San Antonio is 0-3, dropping games to the Atlanta Hawks, Phoenix Suns, and Utah Jazz. None of these matchups looked close over the final quarter of play (don't be deceived by the four-point difference in Saturday's matchup in Phoenix — the Spurs were down by nine with less than a minute to play).
In their 109-119 loss to Utah on Monday, Harrison Barnes led the Spurs with 19 points, and Keldon Johnson added 15 points, four rebounds, and four assists to the stat sheet. Aside from home court advantage, there are few reasons for optimism about the Spurs chances against the Suns. Stephon Castle, De'Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, and Victor Wembanyama are all listed as day-to-day on the injury report.
Suns vs Spurs Pick, Betting Analysis
Evan Abrams' Outright Dog V2 system isolates an edge by identifying preseason underdogs that were competitive — but not dominant — the previous season. Exhibition games often reduce the importance of the talent gap reflected in regular season records.
This system targets underdogs coming off seasons with 33-46 wins when the closing total is at least +205, identifying games expected to feature enough scoring to create volatility. With starters playing uncertain minutes and coaches relying heavily on reserves, these middle tier teams can remain competitive deep into games and turn underdog opportunities into outright wins.
Phoenix is one of the best possible candidates for success under this system. The Suns won 45 games in the 2025-2026 season, one shy of the maximum number of games for this system. Additionally, Phoenix is still considered an underdog despite beating the Spurs only four days ago, and the total is set at 224.5 points. With the moneyline at a juicy +260, bet on the preseason dogs.
Pick: Suns Moneyline (+260)
